Nice. Now I'm watching a scene where a movie of President Clinton is being projected on a screen, it's footage from some Clinton speech, and a Taliban guy walks up and shoots several times at Clinton's head, you see a good 5 or 6 or more bullets make holes in the screen in the middle of Clinton's head, just like he's assassinating Clinton.

Yes, we now have Disney/ABC throwing in mock assassinations of Bill Clinton. Did the Taliban really stage such a mock assassination of Clinton with bin Laden watching, and somehow we got a blow-by-blow of the entire scene? Or did Disney/ABC decide to throw in a mock assassination of Clinton just for the fun of it? You decide.

1. wtf?

So they are implying that the Clenis did it, even if the Clenis was killed? Oh, read the article, the screen is shot. This is getting really weird.

2. After the mock assasination of dimson in an English flick recently,

and the resulting uproar, this is now deemed acceptable?
And if so, why?:grr: :nuke:

4. Because...

Republicans are doing it. Anything a Repug does is okay and above the law and laws of decency.

I'm watching that damned show tonight and will contact every single company sponsoring the lies. It won't do much good, but at least I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that they know my family won't be buying any of their products again. Nor will we ever take our grandchildren to anything owned and operated by Disney.

7. There are no sponsors. It's being aired commercial-free. nt

3. more freeper porn

for the pinheads to wank it.

what looosers

5. Perhaps people will get that they didn't like Clinton

for a reason.

6. Actually

That sounds like a stock shot from a pre-9/11 al Qaeda video - supposedly "realistic" training in their Afghan camps (and nearly useless for any real training purposes - just like the endless shots of going hand-over-hand on rope ladders.)

9. They air the ropes course footage for the same reason the army does

because it looks exciting to potential recruits. And I'd assume just like in the US military you might do a ropes course twice in your entire career...

8. WTF? Sounds like someone dropped acid in their Kool-Aid! N/T

[Skidmore]

10. An attempt to substantiate their claim that it is a dramatization, and

not just a blatant pack of RW lies?

11. I read this on Allthecat's thread - New Zeeland's showing last night

he described the scene last night. Talk about BFEE having it both ways!

12. They should be fair and balanced and show AQ's altar for bush.

You only want to assassinate that which is a threat.

I bet al Qaeda has an altar to the bush administration, no doubt in part for getting rid of Saddam and swelling the ranks of terrorists worldwide. bush must be some kind of hero to AQ.

13. I just gagged

If we as dems put out a movie that was to be aired on ANY network- even the f*cking WB, and someone pretended to shoot at Saint Bush...... the fundies heads would freaking explode.
